A co-beneficial system using aquatic plants: bioethanol production from free-floating aquatic plants used for water purification
A co-beneficial system using constructed wetlands (CWs) planted with aquatic plants is proposed for bioethanol production and nutrient removal from wastewater. The potential for bioethanol production from aquatic plant biomass was experimentally evaluated. Water hyacinth and water lettuce were selected because of their high growth rates and easy harvestability attributable to their free-floating vegetation form. The alkaline/oxidative pretreatment was selected for improving enzymatic hydrolysis of the aquatic plants. Ethanol was produced with yields of 0.14–0.17 g-ethanol/
g-biomass in a simultaneous saccharification and fermentation mode using a recombinant
